The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian rifle in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum with a 26-inch threaded barrel (brand part no. VTX653WR6T) backs Weatherby’s SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee with a cold hammer-forged barrel and two-stage match-grade trigger for a proprietary, extreme long-range magnum cartridge. Weatherby finishes the #2 contour barrel and drilled-and-tapped steel receiver in blued, and an M16-style extractor adds reliability to the bolt’s extraction and ejection cycle. The weather-resistant Monte Carlo synthetic stock includes a raised comb for a more consistent cheek weld with a scope mounted, and the extended 26-inch barrel maximizes velocity from the 6.5-300’s large powder capacity. Among extreme long-range bolt action rifles, this Vanguard Obsidian configuration favors hunters who want maximum reach from a factory magnum rifle.
